A total of 40 urine specimens were collected from patients admitted to Baaquba Teaching Hospital in Baaquba city for the period from 1/ 12 /2014 to 1/01/2015. From them 16 isolates belonging to members of the family Enterobacteriaceae (40%). isolates were identified as E.coli 10 (25%) and three isolates were identified as proteus mirabilis 6 (15%). The results showed that only 4 isolates (25%) were detected as ESBL-producers by using disk approximation method P.mirabilis and E. coli were the species that gave positive results by using this method.

Computer simulation was used to study the fine structures of 2D- square lattice. The temperatures used in the experiment was below the TC = 770k. Within this range of temperatures, the 2D- square lattice through a chain of successive non- equilibrium configurations which is achieved through the diffusion of atoms into vacant places of lattice .The equilibrium state has been obtained by averaging a number of runs (15-16) million time steps. In equilibrium state of lattice the results showed the existence of different kinds of the fine structures (microdomains, clusters, segregations and antiphase domain boundaries). At a temperatures above TC, clusters and segregations appear and the concentration of atoms in clusters was 0.5 and in segregation 0.1. Also we noticed the changes in microdomains sizes with temperatures.

A sample from Kolosh formation nearby Hizop small village near Kaniwatman area in Kurdistan region was taken for the purpose of conducting qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis for most of elements that constitute the sample. Initial simple physical examination shows that the sample contains a percentage of iron (III) oxide. Three parts of the sample were allowed to react with three in excess concentrated hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids separately. The reaction with HCl gives deep yellow solution, with HNO3 and with H2SO4 gives colorless solution. Most of the transition elements in the periodic table were excluded for the absences of the characteristic colors of their ions in solutions. Analysis shows that the percent of total organic carbon (TOC) in the sample was 5.3%, for silica was 26.9% and for iron was 2.5%. The percentages of missing weight from the samples after their reaction with sulphuric, nitric and hydrochloric, acids were, 42.3%, 44.3% and 48.7% respectively. The group’s qualitative analysis for Kolosh sample showed a measureable presence of iron, silicon, carbon and calcium compounds. The presence was very low for other elements compound like barium, aluminum, lead and thallium. The aim of this work is a qualitative and semi quantitative analysis for probable existence of some elements compound in Kolosh formation mineral.

The idea of concentrating solar energy to increase the output power of photovoltaic (PV) collectors is an area that has received significant attention in recent years. In this study, a design model for a V-trough concentrating PV solar collector by using one and two plane reflectors is theoretically analyzed and validated with experimental measurements data. The angle between the PV collector and reflector and the tilt of PV collector are fixed at 120o and 60o, respectively. Variation of the total solar radiation received by the PV collector without reflector for horizontal surface, for normal incidence, with tilt angle 60o, with one reflector and with two reflectors for a selected day in 15-January during the time period from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Baghdad city for different view factor between the PV collector and reflector (Fr-c) is studied. The results indicated that the total solar radiation at solar noon for Fr-c=0.21 is 1265 W/m2 when using two reflectors, in other words 61% enhancement. On the other hand, there is 120% enhancement of two reflectors system in comparison with horizontal surface without reflector. The Isc at solar noon increase from 0.16 A for PV collector without reflector to 0.22 A with one reflector which represent 37.5% enhancement and to 0.3 A with two reflectors which represent 87.5% enhancement, while the open circuit voltage (VOC) increase from 8.35 volt for PV collector without reflector to 8.43 volt with one reflector and to 8.4 volt with two reflectors.

The aim of this investigation was to determine whether both ethanol and aqueous extracts of different parts of three Perennial plants (Dodonaea viscosa, Eucalyptus sp. and Pinus sp.) could provide the biological activity to inhibit the growth of three gram negative pathogenic bacteria include: Eschericia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi. 20 grams of the plant parts powder were extracted with 200 ml of ethanol and 40 grams were extracted with 160 ml of distilled water. MIC was estimated for ethanol and aqueous. Antibacterial activity assay of the ethanol and aqueous extracts was carried out disk diffusion method. Pure colonies of test bacteria were transferred to nutrient broth and incubated overnight at 37C˚ and turbidity of prepared inoculums were adjusted equal to that 106 CFU/ml (standardized by 0.5 McFarland standards) and 100μl of inoculum was spread on Muller-Hinton agar medium by using a sterile glass spreader. For control, discs were impregnated with sterile water or absolute alcohol (control negative) and also standard antibiotic discs (ciprofloxacin 10μg/disc, Ampicillin 10μg/disc and cloxacillin 10μg/disc, Tobramycin 10μg/disc) as a control. Interestingly in our study we have observed promising antimicrobial activity against studied bacteria. It is worth mentioning that most of the results of aqueous and ethanolic extracts were distinct because they cannot appearing in some large inhibition zone, but it was interesting because it was close to the positive control , where inhibition percentage arrived to more than 90%. Suggest both extracts of D.viscosa shoots against P. aeruginosa, Eucalyptus sp. leaves against E.coli and S. typhi , ethanolic extract of pine cone against P. aeruginosa and aqueous extract of pine leaves against E.coli , as a good antibacterial” .

This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of seropositivity of celiac disease among apparently healthy individuals. Between December / 2014 to March / 2015, eighty four apparently healthy students (42 males and 42 females) of the Technical College/Kirkuk with mean age ± standard deviation of 22.25 ± 2.85 years where participated in the study. All subjects were serologically screened for the presence of immunoglobulin A and G of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA-tTG and IgG-tTG) by using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). In total, 84 students (42 males and 42 females). There was only five students (5.9%) who had a seropositive for celiac disease, including 4 females and 1 male, among them only one female showed positive results of both IgA and IgG anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA-tTG and IgG-tTG), while the remaining students (3 females and 1 male) revealed negative results of IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies and positive results of IgG anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies. The Computerized Microsoft Excel program was performed by using proportions and mean ± standard deviation. In conclusions, positive celiac screening is existent at a high prevalence rate in our healthy individuals, in which the individuals' IgA deficiency are detected with the positivity of IgG anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies. Females are more affected than males. A study widely is needed to estimate the real prevalence by substantiation of positive cases with histological examination.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films have been deposited on a variety of substrates by using homemade chemical spray technique (CSP). A study of the effect of substrate material on the structure and optical properties of the fabricated films is reported. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the polycrystalline nature of the films with hexagonal structure and a preferential orientation along the (002) plane. The surface morphological studies revealed the nanocrystalline grains, and all the deposited films have uniform well covered grain size on the surface of the substrates. The compositional analyses showed highly stoichiometric, and the S/Cd atomic ratio is close to one. The optical studies showed the average transmittance of the films deposited on different substrates in the visible and near infrared regions is about (65 to 80) %, and band gap varied from (2.432 to 2.444) eV. The obtained results indicated that the substrate nature has a strong factor influencing on the formation and optical properties of CdS films.

Security documents like certificates, land revenue documents, etc., have only the individual’s name, address, and in some cases a photo as means of personal identification. This makes criminal impersonation an easy task. Therefore, many of these limitations can be eliminated by incorporation of better methods that can be used to verify identity by measuring and analyzing human characteristics instead of things the individual may have (smart card) or know (password). The main goal of this paper is using the fingerprint technology to generate the unique ID based on the core point of the fingerprint of an individual that can be used for identifying person identity. The finger-print’s minutia features are extracted with the core point as the reference based on the seven moment invariants, Then the extracted features are converted into numerical value, This numerical value is used as the unique ID for printing in the security documents for the personal identification. If the fingerprint image does not contain the core point such as the plain arch and tented arch patterns then we must create the center point in this fingerprint image and this is considered as the core point. The minutia features will be computed with this point as the reference point and this is used to generate a unique ID.

Since computing technology increasing as part of our daily life activity, there is a need for new branches of applications. Developing the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application to adequate to work within the access control of smart home is the main aim of this paper.

The feature vector that is traveling on the network is compressed to only 15 components with recognition rate reaches to 100% and reduction in computation complexity of Eigen faces.

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic and complex disease, requiring continued lifelong management aimed at reducing premature mortality and the high morbidity caused by chronic complications, one of the main causes of chronic renal failure is diabetic nephropathy. The responsive ﬁltering system in the kidney becomes progressively destroyed after many years of diabetes. This study was conducted to establish relationship of Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA_S) level with increased risk factor of kidney damage in diabetic, diabetic nephropathy and control men. Eighty one subjects were divided in three groups were incorporated in this study, 32 were healthy control ,with mean age ( 54±0.34) years , 30 diabetic men with mean age (55±0.9) years, and 19 diabetic men with nephropathy with mean age ( 65±0.57) years. They were attended at Baquba Teaching Hospital. This investigation was carried out on serum sample to measure the concentrations of DHEA-S by using [Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbents by Assay [ELISA]] test using commercially available kits. In addition to that, serum creatinine, blood urea, albumin, fasting serum glucose (FSG), Glycohemoglobin (Hb1AC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) , and the duration of disease were identified in the control and patients. The experimental results revealed that the mean value of DHEA-S concentration was none significantly decreased in diabetic comparing to the control group (p>0.005), while the level of DHEA-S concentration were decreased significantly in diabetic with nephropathy compared to healthy control subject (p<0.005). Also, low mean concentration of serum DHEA-S noticed in all groups of diabetic patients, and highly significant decrease in DHEA-S levels with advancing age in the studied groups. This finding had been proved by multiple regression model used in this study, which showed that the negative correlation found between age, and serum DHEA-S level. The concentration of the other parameters (blood urea and creatinine) increases in the serum of patient groups as compared to the control group, on other hands decreased albumin in patient groups as compared to the control group. In summary, there is a major association between DHEA-S levels and diabetic nephropathy. These conclusions promote that DHEA-S level inversely correlated with the progression of diabetic nephropathy in diabetic men. Also decrease in DHEA-S levels with advancing age in the studied groups suggest that apart from age being diabetic is related with lower mean value of this hormone.
